lTop
CLI tool for log files monitoring
Introduction
lTop is using gorilla encoding and compression to keep metrics about log files in memory. More information about the implementation could be found here. Further we have used prometheus implemnation for gorilla encoding. The is copies in chunkenc directory. Further we borrowed some ideas and code form prometheus client and tsdb implementation.
Future Improvements
Currently lTop has only a counter implementation. Adding other types of metrics (like gauge, histogram) will be useful for some particular stats like bytes sent of access log.
Further the design of lTop is fixable to add more filter to different types of log files. The only supported type now is http-access-log
Adding support for more query functions will be useful to estimate function over Series or Matrix(set of Series)
Build and Usage
To build lTop:
make
To get help for using the lTop
ltop --help
The supported filter for now are:
http-access-log
Example:
./ltop -l access.log -f http-access-log -c 5 -e 10
